    About Drama Studies for non-English Majors

    Pursuing a certification in drama studies enhances a student’s self-confidence and presentation skills, boosts their classroom presence and marketability, and provides a solid foundation in the dramatic arts.

    The certificate covers fundamental topics in dramatic literature, Shakespeare, and various aspects of drama. Through the program, students will:

    • Study the history and evolution of theatrical performance.
    • Analyze the transformation of literary texts into live performances.
    • Experience and critique live drama through the Stratford Excursion experience.

    Students who earn the Drama Studies Certificate will distinguish themselves in the workplace and in advanced professional or academic studies through their clear, precise, and eloquent writing; their ability to convincingly express ideas and arguments; and their proficiency in finding and utilizing information to support their ideas.
